LASIK

This procedure is currently the gold standard for the surgical correction of nearsightedness. The entire surgery takes only 10 to 20 minutes, and the laser beam is used less than one minute.

One to two days after LASIK the patient can do most daily activities without lenses. Eligibility exams require before LASIK surgery are a corneal topography, tachymetry (corneal thickness) and a complete ophthalmic examination.
